The 2025 European Tour, titled as the 2025 DP World Tour for sponsorship reasons, was the 54th season of the European Tour, the main professional golf tour in Europe since its inaugural season in 1972.

It was the fourth season of the tour under a title sponsorship agreement with DP World that was announced in November 2021. ^[1]

Changes for 2025

The initial part of the schedule was announced in August 2024, with the "Opening Swing" events confirmed. ^[2] Tournaments in Australia and Southern Africa were confirmed, with the return of the Nedbank Golf Challenge, which had not been part of the 2024 season due to scheduling changes. ^[3] The Joburg Open and the Investec South African Open Championship were dropped from the Opening Swing, being rescheduled to March. ^[4] The remainder of the schedule was announced in November 2024. ^{[5] [6]} As part of the announcement, it was confirmed that the Turkish Open and Austrian Open would return to the schedule for the first time since 2019 and 2021, respectively. ^{[7] [8]}

• Several tournaments held in 2024 were not included in the schedule announcement: the Dubai Invitational (played biannually), ^[9] the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters, the SDC Championship, the Jonsson Workwear Open, the ISPS Handa Championship, ^[10] the European Open, ^[11] the Volvo Car Scandinavian Mixed ^[12] and the Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters. ^[13] The Commercial Bank Qatar Masters was later added to the schedule. ^[14]
  • In December 2024, it was reported by Czech Television that the 2025 D+D Real Czech Masters would not take place after being originally scheduled for 7–10 August. This was due to the tournament promoters being unable to find a suitable venue. ^[15]
  • In May 2025, the tour announced that the dates vacated by the Czech Masters would be filled by the returning Scottish Championship, previously held just once in 2020. ^[16] In July, Nexo was announced as the tournament title sponsor, with it being renamed the Nexo Championship. ^[17]
